Just stop with the ignorant and misinformed hype. Muhammad Ali was on the cover of TIME more than once. Other fighters like Jack Dempsey, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson also made the cover. Hell, even Gerry Cooney and the fictitious "Rocky" made the cover of TIME. Just stop. And Pacquiao weas on the cover of the Asian edition of TIME. Of course he is more popular in Asian countries.
Can we put the Mayweather PPV king arguements to rest?

Not saying he doesn't sell fights i can't argue that. But to me the ppv kings will always be dlh and tyson, doesn't even matter that their not fighting anymore. When those two fought there was a buzz huge buzz when money fights I don't get that feeling from casual fans. But if you told a casual fan that tyson was fighting a cat their going to buy it no matter what. MOney does get numbers what i'm trying to say is dude doesn't bring the same buzz or atmosphere to a fight he needs help to do that. You want to know what star is check hou tito trinidad entrance coming into the garden against anyone. Thats a star, money can't do that sorry mayweather fanatics your fighter is not a superstar he is not beloved like most of you believe PERIODComment

You're contradicting yourself all over the place. If there was no buzz for his fights people wouldn't buy them or attend the press conferences. And you are using a ring entrance as an example of what makes a star. That speaks for itself. Trinidad was not a universal star. When did he ever sell a huge fight without a dance partner? Talk about delusions. I'm done with this ****** topic.Comment

come on man really tito wasn't even from the states and he sold out arenas, Floyd couldn't even sell out in his home. What i mean with buzz is no one left a damn tyson fight or oscar fight, people peace out with floyd cause dude well can be boring as ****. Yeah floyd needs a dance partner too biggest ppv for him oscar de la hoya and ricky hatton. Those are two good dance partners. Also you go to puerto rico and ask about tito no one will say nothing bad bout duke cause he's loved. You come to the states and ask people about floyd u might get a answer of "who, o the guy that pacquiao might fight" or might get a answer of can't stand the guy. Floyd is not a superstar sorry he isn't floyd fans he is no beloved by the public most of the writers and boxing fans cant stand him cause he's a jerk. Tito well beloved by a whole country. Buh Bye
Floyds fight are viewed the most. Live with it.Comment
